Myrna Joy Gorsalitz took her final journey on Sunday, September 27, 2015. She was 77 years young. Born in Gerald, Saskatchewan, Myrna became enamored with Robert Gorsalitz at a young age and stole his bachelor status from him on May 11, 1957. Between them they brought three new souls into the world: first their only daughter Michelle, followed by Jason and then Stafford. Together they embarked on their family adventure. Their travels took them across the globe to Germany for military service, before returning home to Canada. She left her mark in many places including Drinkwater, Calgary, Yellowknife, Pine Lake, Elnora, Tilley, Vernon, Hundred Mile House, Central Butte, and Benalto, to name a few. From Veterinarian Assistant to Bank Manager to Hotel Owner, Myrna expanded her resume by travelling with Robert across the country, cooking and catering to the hardworking diamond miners in the Northwest Territories and the laborers of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Later she managed a senior residence before settling on her last business enterprise as a Bed and Breakfast Operator. Myrna had many talents and was active in many organizations, her favorite being the Royal Canadian Legion. Although she took this last trip on her own, she will be greeted by her dad, Albert Edward Upton, her mom Ida Rachel Upton, and her brother David all who have been waiting anxiously for her to visit them on the other side. She will be fondly remembered by her immediate family: her grandchildren, Caroline, Darbi, Reis, Matthew, and Logan; great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and by many friends she made wherever she and Robert settled. Myrna chose not to have a service in her memory; her only wish was for her inner circle of family and friends to convene together and celebrate her life at a later date. If desired, Memorial Donations in Myrna’s honor may be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society at 6751 52 Ave, Red Deer, AB T4N 4K9. Arrangements in care of Ashley Paton, Funeral Director at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.
